LATEST DIVERSITY NEWS
The New York Times
Writers and editors at The Harvard Crimson have gone on to be presidents (John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt), tech billionaires (Steve Ballmer, the former chief executive of Microsoft), news media bosses (Jeff Zucker, the head of CNN) and a number of my colleagues at The New York Times. But what the newspaper had in power, it lacked in diversity.
LAist
In an industry that's been plagued with inclusivity problems (read: an industry that's kept women and people of color out of high-powered jobs for decades), this week has so far delivered some deserved breaks for three film and television creatives.
CNBC
It's been a whirlwind year for 36-year-old Constance Wu, star of the blockbuster "Crazy Rich Asians." The movie pulled in more than $230 million at the box office worldwide and made Hollywood history as the first mainstream film to feature an all-Asian cast and an Asian-American lead in 25 years.
Black Enterprise
Progress for women in corporate America isn't just slow-it's stalled, according to new research from LeanIn.Org and McKinsey & Co. For women of color, and for black women executives especially, it's even worse.
